Notes
Conservation and access copies made from the film collection comprising of 55 items donated by Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, Oxford, to the Wellcome Trust in 2008. In 1937, Lord Nuffield established a clinical chair of anaesthesia in Oxford amidst some controversy that anaesthesia was even an academic discipline. The collection is a mixture of clinical and educational films made or held by the department to supplement their teaching dating from the late 1930s onwards.
No bio-medical content, although the gauges are similar to those used in anaesthetic equipment and so this film could show the war-time output of a factory which normally makes medical equipment. Lord Nuffield owned a motorcar manufacturing empire at the time.
